Sustainable tourism can be an effective tool for employment creation and poverty reduction in small island developing states (SIDS) by providing financial and economic benefits from tourism activities in protected areas when revenue is equitably shared. For tourism to be sustainable, destination management must consider impacts on biodiversity, community empowerment through benefits incorporation and sensitization, as well as employment and training opportunities in a bottom-up approach.

This document summarizes a study on the PAEPARD Users' Led Process (ULP) and its implications for agricultural research and development partnerships between Europe and Africa. The study found that while ULP dialogues help identify user priorities, they are not sufficient for building long-term partnerships which require consistent funding and trust over time. Bringing together diverse stakeholders from research and non-research backgrounds strengthens capacities and speeds up innovation, but managing such partnerships is challenging due to differences in agendas, communication, and engagement over the long process. Overall, ULPs can foster productive multi-stakeholder research partnerships if funding constraints are addressed and European participation is enhanced.

The document discusses developing capacity for agricultural innovation systems. It notes that investments in agricultural R&D are low and concentrated in high-income countries. The Tropical Agriculture Platform was launched by the G20 to address capacity gaps in low and middle-income tropical countries. The TAP framework proposes a dual pathway approach and 5-stage cycle for capacity development, focusing on strengthening individual, organizational and enabling environment capacities for planning, implementing, adapting and responding to innovation needs. The framework is meant to increase coordination and impact of capacity development initiatives for more effective agricultural innovation systems.

Capacity development for poverty reduction
This document discusses ways to improve agricultural research for development in Africa. It argues that more focus needs to be placed on building human and institutional capacity. Specifically, it calls for:
1) Improving linkages between international agricultural research institutions like CGIAR and advanced research institutions as well as organizations involved in product development and deployment.
2) Promoting education, training, and programs to systematically build strong public institutions in developing countries rather than relying on temporary projects or disaster assistance.
3) Recruiting and retaining top talent in developing countries through incentives like scholarships, rewarding excellence, and creating economic opportunities so countries can be self-sufficient in addressing development challenges.
Green wheels turning?
The document discusses a study examining willingness to pay for green initiatives at the Cape Argus Pick 'n Pay cycle tour in South Africa. The study surveyed 180 participants about their views on green initiatives at the event and whether they would be willing to pay an extra fee. Factor analysis identified four types of cyclists based on their green views: "Green money", "Green products", "Re-cyclers", and "Do your bit". Logistic regression found that having green views, specifically "Do your bit" and "Green money" views, positively predicted willingness to pay. The document recommends that event organizers identify green-minded consumers and target initiatives toward them, and that further research examine additional factors influencing willingness to pay.
Investing in agriculture to feed Asia securely
This document discusses investing in agriculture to ensure food security in Asia. It outlines that Asia faces challenges of growing food demand and persistent food insecurity despite economic growth. The Asian Development Bank's priorities to address this include increasing productivity and reducing losses, improving market connectivity, enhancing food safety and quality, and improving natural resource management. Investment highlights from the ADB include projects to enhance productivity through crop diversification and market access in Nepal and Bangladesh. It also discusses delivering sustainable resource use through water saving technology in China, building climate resilience through food-water-energy projects in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar, and promoting financial inclusion and agribusiness through SME financing in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Value Chain Partnerships in Iowa
The document discusses the Regional Food Systems Working Group (RFSWG) and its role in building regional food systems in Iowa. The RFSWG serves as an umbrella network that brings together non-profits, government agencies, and farmer networks. It facilitates collaboration and sharing of resources to strengthen regional food enterprises. More than 20 organizations regularly participate in the quarterly meetings of the RFSWG to network, identify opportunities, and receive seed grants for local food system projects. The goal is to create a more resilient regional food system in Iowa.

Sustainable tourism in protected areas
This document summarizes a presentation on sustainable tourism in protected areas in Southern Africa. It finds that while there are many initiatives, there are also barriers to mainstreaming sustainable tourism such as a lack of public sector capacity and needs of the private sector. It provides recommendations like improving frameworks for regional tourism strategies, conserving biodiversity through protected area management, and increasing the supply and demand for sustainable tourism products. It also compares the World Parks Congresses of 2003 and 2014 and finds that while tourism was not an official stream, it was discussed in many presentations and events. Tourism is seen to play an important role in financing protected areas when managed sustainably.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
